                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIPS NOT AFFECTED; LIABILITY FOR DEBTS, ETC., OF
CORPORATION, ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES (§ 13.1-547)

The provisions of this chapter shall not be construed to alter or affect the
professional relationship between a person furnishing professional services and
a person receiving such service either with respect to liability arising out of
such professional service or the confidential relationship between the person
rendering the professional service and the person receiving such professional
service, if any, and all such confidential relationships enjoyed under the laws
of this Commonwealth, whether now in existence, or hereafter enacted, shall
remain inviolate. A director, officer, agent or employee of a professional
corporation shall not, by reason of being any director, officer, agent or
employee of such corporation, be personally liable for any debts or claims
against, or the acts or omissions of the corporation or of another director,
officer, agent or employee of the corporation, but the corporation shall be
liable for the acts or omissions of its directors, officers, agents, employees
and servants to the same extent to which any other corporation would be liable
for the acts or omissions of its directors, officers, agents, employees and
servants while they are engaged in carrying on the corporate business.
